and engaged Delano & Aldrich to design an annex on Park Avenue and a ballroom wing to the west of the annex, both completed in 1929. At 69-71 East 93rd Street, he demolished a thirty-nine-foot wide, five-story residential building, and had his architects build a twenty-five-foot wide garage building with staff quarters above, also completed in 1929. Baker used the remaining fourteen feet of frontage to expand the garden. Garden fountain In 1927, the Bakers contemplated replacing Palmer's garden fountain.
